KING'S BENCH.-FRIDAY. THE KING V. HUNTER, GARDNER, WRIGHT, THOMAS AND ELIZABETH WORTS. This was an indictment against the defendants for con spiring to defraud one William Wilkinson out of a large sum of money, by fraudulently representing that a rever sionary interest belonging to the wife of Gardner, was un ncumbered when it was charged with the payment of se veral sums of money ; and, secondly, with fraudulently re presenting Elizabeth Worts to be the wife of Gardner. - The defendants had pleaded " Not Guilty." Mr. THESSIGER stated that the prosecutor was an inn keeper residing at Alresford, in Hampshire, and the fraud *vas attempted to be committed under the pretence of se curing to him an annuity on a fund which consisted of the reversionary interest of the wife of Gardner, expectant on the death of her mother, Mrs. Graham, that fund being over charged with incumbrances at the time. Some short time before this fraud was committed, Gardner was confined itr the King's Bench prison for debt, and was living there with a woman named Elizabeth Worts, he having for some time separated himself from his wife. Mrs. Gardner was, under the will of her uncle, Mr. Moser, entitled to one-fifth part of the sum of 7,7701. in the 3i per Cents., but her interest therein was reversionary, being expectant on the death of her mother. On.the 2d of August, 1834, this fraud was committed. Lord DENMAN, after hearing evidence, summed up the case, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the defendants, except Elizabeth Worts, but recommended Wright to the merciful consideration of the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday the Loan, MAYOS adjudicated in a case o very considerable importance to those who are interested in the navigation of the River Thames. The decision, it is calculated, will have a most beneficial effect in causing the removal of the many impediments which have been every hour presenting themselves amongst the crowded shipping. Mr. Thomas Brocklebank, acting-manager of the Ge neral Steam Navigation Company, and Mr. Henry Whit tingham, Captain of the City of Hamburgh steam-boat, be longing to that Company, appeared before his Lordship, upon a complaint that the vessel had obstructed the navi gat ion of the river, and had not been removed after notice given to that effect by one of the Harbourmasters, whereby certain penalties are claimed, as incurred under the provi sions of the Acts for regulating the port of London. Mr. Ryland, upon th part of the City anthorities, stated that on the 20th of May last the City of Hamburg steam boat was lying off the Custom-house, in a situation to ob struct the navigation of the river, and Captain Rowland, one of the Harbourmasters, at eleven o'clock in the fore noon of that day, put a notice on board, requiring that the vessel should be removed to the lower steam-boat tier within three hours. The vessel was not moved as required ; but, on the contrary, remained for several hours after the time expressed in the notice, whereby the owners of the vessel had become liable to pay 51. for every hour she so remained after the time expressed in the notice, according to the provisions of the 10th George IV., cap. 124. Mr. Charles Philips, for the Company, said, that as there was no dispute about the facts of the case, he consi dered it to be unnecessary to go into evidence. He would admit that the steam-boat had been in the situation de scribed ; that the notice had been put on board ; and that the vessel had not been removed till she sailed next morn ing on her voyage to Harnburgh. He contended, however, that by the by-laws a vessel could remain for twelve hours after notice from the Harbourmaster. The LORD MAYOR said the only question was whether the vessel could have been removed within the time specified? One witness on the part of the Company, and Captain Rowland, were examined on this point, and The LORD MAYOR was satisfied that the charge was established ; but as he hoped that the object sought would be obtained by the conviction, and being satisfied that the General Steam Navigation Company would do everything in their power to conform to the regulations, he thought it would be sufficient to convict in the lowest penalty. His Lordship mitigated the penalty to 50s. accordingly. Had the whole of the penalties been sought, the defendant would have had to pay the sum of 301., besides the costs of the prosecution. MAILS.

Yesterday John Philips, a man about 40 years of age, was brought from the station•house, in the custody of Bray, 179, G. Division, charged with having used the most horrid cruelty towards John Philips, his son, between seven and eight years of age, and Ellen his daughter, a fine little girl three years of age. Mr. Latchford, on Thursday evening about seven o'clock, was at his residence in Compton-street, Clerkenwell, when he was informed that a man was exercising great cruelty to his . children at a house close by, No. 1 20, in Allen-street. He proceeded thither and saw a great crowd of persons, and the piteous cries of some children alarmed the whole neighbourhood. He entered the house, and found that the cries proceeded from the parlour, on entering which he discovered the boy pinioned, and tied hands and legs to the bed-post with a rope, and the prisoner was beating him with a thick stick, while the poor boy was begging of his father not to beat him. The boy's back was covered with stripes, and his shoulders were horribly bruised ; and his sister, who appeared to be in a half-starved condition, was in the room. Witness interposed, and asked him whether he ought not to be ashamed of himself to act with such cruelty ? To which he replied that he should do it again, and put him at defiance. Witness untied the boy and procured a policeman, to whom he gave the prisoner into custody. The rope with which the unfortunate little fellow was fastened, and also the stick with which he was so severely beaten, were produced, and a sensation of horror and in dignation was expressed by every person present. Other witnesses, lodgers in the house, attended to corro borate the evidence. Mr. ROGERS asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l went out in the morning to look after a job at Dixon's auction rooms, and when I returned home I found him at play. He was in the habit, during my absence, of having children to play in the parlour ; so I tied down the window, and locked the door, and ordered him not to leave the place, but he did, and I heat him. He untied the window and went out. Mr. ROGERS ordered the prisoner to find bail, in default or which he was committed to prison. _ _ He ordered that Bugg, the beadle of Clerkenwell parish, should be sent for, for the purpose of taking the children to the workhouse. Bugg shortly after arrived, and Mr. Rogers explained to him the cruel manner in which they had been' treated, and their unfortunate situation, when he took them under his care, and promised that everything should be done for them. He then applied to the prisoner in the lock-up place, but in the most hardened manner he refused to give any account of himself, or to state where the mother of the children could be found. SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION, JULY I. The official declaration of the state of the poll took place this morning at the County Hall. The Hon. Mr. Percy attended on behalf of Mr. Shirley. After the numbers had been cast up, the High She . riff declared them as follows : For Mr. Shirley For Sir Grey Skipwith Majority for Mr. Shirley. . --513 Votes tendered for Mr. Shirley ...... 3 For Sir Grey Skipwith 4O He, therefore, declared Mr. Shirley duly elected as a Knight of the Shire for the southern division of the county of Warwick. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—In the re-letting of this theatre it is understood considerable concessions will be granted to a new lessee. The sum paid as a deposit by Mr. Elliston, Mr. Price, and Captain Polhill was 5,000/., which was received by the committee previously to the openinc of the theatre. In future less than half that amount will be con sidered adequate from a responsible person. When Captain Polhill became lessee at 10,0001. a year, he had only half the private boxes included in his lease. Since then, many of the best boxes, which used to let at four hundred guineas for the season, have fallen in, and are to be included in the rental. Many more and important advantages will arise to a new lessee. CORONER'S INQUEST.—DETERMINED SUICIDE 01 , A TRADESMAN'S WlFE.—Yesterday a Coroner's inquisition was taken before Mr. Payne, at the Lamb Tavern, Leaden hall-market, on the view of the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Wood, aged 43, the wife of Mr. Wood, boot and shoemaker, Leadenhall-street, who committed suicide by nearly severing her head from her body with a razor. Charles Lutcher, su perintendent of the nightly watch, about half-past eight o'clock on Thursday morning, was in the watch-house in Leadenhall market, when Mr. Wood called for his assistance, stating that Mrs. Wood bad destroyed herself. Accompanied by some other persons, he entered the house and found the deceased stretched on the floor, surrounded by a large quantity of blood, which was flowing from her throat. She was lying on her face, and undressed, and was struggling in the agonies of death. He observed a frightful wound, extending completely across the throat. The act appeared to have been most de termined.—Verdict, " Temporary insanity." MAD DoGs.---,Yesterday, by order of the Magis trates of Hatton-Garden Police-office, placards were circula ted throughout the district of the office, &c., cautioning the public not to suffer their dogs to prowl about the streets un muzzled, as a number of dogs had been seen about strongly suspected to be in a rabid state ; or they would be prosecuted according to law. One dog has already been shot by order of the magistrates at the back of Hatton-garden, and they are de termined to put the law rigidly into execution upon all who disobey the mandate. SCOTTISH UNIVERSITY BILL.—A numerous meeting of the inhabitants, called by requisition, was held in the Merchants' Hall, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of petitioning Parliament against the above Bill.

The subject of infant labour in factories was last night brought under the consideration of the House of Lords by the Bishop of EXETER. The Right Rev. Prelate presented several petitions, which must he allowed, even by the warmest advocates of the unre restricted freedom of labour, to possess considerable weight. One of these petitions—that to which we principally allude—was from the master manufacturers and cotton-spinners of the town and neighbourhood of Bradford in Yorkshire, and had been adopted at a public meeting called by advertisement. Another was from the delegates of the workmen in the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire; and a third was from the delegates representing the workmen of Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and other places. The petitioners prayed their Lordships to pass a Bill limiting the time of labour to ten hours a day for per sons of 21 years of age ; and to eight hours a-day on five days of the week, and ten on Saturday, for all persons under 21. There may be some doubt as to the propriety of the Legislature interfer ing between the employer and the employed, when the latter has attained the age of 21, at which age the law presumes he is able to direct himself in all the affairs of life ; but we think it cannot be denied that the State is in duty bound to protect children of tender age against a system of labour which is equally pernicious to mind and body. The State interposes its authority to guard the pro perty of an infant ; but what is property, when com pared with health and morals, to say nothing of in tellectual cultivation ? Health is not only itself an exquisite enjoyment, but it is the foundation of all other enjoyments--that without which they cannot exist—or can be but imperfectly relished ; and infancy is the season on which it depends, whether or not this inestimable blessing is to fall to the lot of the in dividual in after-life ? Now it would be an insult to the uiderstanding of our readers were we to attempt to prove that if a child of 6or 8 years of age—a being of ceaseless activity, the developement of whose physical powers requires among other things freedom, variety of occupation, and pure air to breathe, be confined in crowded rooms, of a high temperature, and kept constantly labouring at the same employment 12 or 14 hours every d a y of its life—it must be seriously, nay, irretrievably, in jured, by a system of treatment so directly opposed to that which its nature demands. But we may perhaps be asked, " will you endanger the manufacturing in terest by withdrawing so great a proportion of labour from the market, and thus'enhancing the price of the remainder ?" To this we reply, as we have done before, that humanity and sound policy are never at variance ; but that if, in order to carry on a successful manufac turing warfare against our continental rivals, it were THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1836. necessary to sacrifice the best interests of the rising generation among the working classes at home, we should not hesitate as to the course we should pursue. The health, the comfort, the intellectual and moral improvement of the people, are in our mind objects of paramount importance—objects in which not only the present but future generations are more deeply inte rested than in any others. We are, however, relieved from the necessity of making any invidious comparison between the interests of classes in this case. The manufacturers of York shire and Lancashire, who must be supposed to under stand what concerns their affairs, have declared that no such grinding labour as some would impose upon children, is necessary for the support of our manufac turing superiority. They can derive a reasonable profit from their capital without subjecting children to more than eight hours' labour per day ; and if they can, so we apprehend can others, and this ought to settle the question. A discussion took place last night in the House of Lords on the subject of the Ministerial plan of educa tion in. Ireland. Lord NARCISSUS WICKLOW brought forward the question, and after insinuating that the system was not what it ought to be ; here hinting " a fault," and there hesitating " a dislike"— for he was too shrewd to speak openly against it— added with infinite modesty that he " begged it would be distinctly understood that he had no desire of run ning down the system of education !" How like is this to the conduct pursued by the Quaker on a certain well known occasion I A dog in passing happened to make a snap at his calf, whereupon friend Broadbrim, whose sense of humanity would not allow him to beat the animal, contented himself with just whispering meekly in the ear of the bye-standers " mad dog I" So acts Lord WICKLOW with respect to the Irish educa tion system. His discretion will not allow him to attack it openly, so he contents himself with whisper ing " mad dog" in the ear of their Lordships, and then takes credit to himself for his forbearance. But every one can see through this shallow artifice, and appre ciate the spirit that prompts his remark, that " an enquiry is essential to satisfy all parties." The Mar quis of LANSDOWNE replied to "Narcissus" in a brief, but effective speech ; in the course of which he gave a flat denial to two assertions made publicly in the House of Lords some time since by the Bishop of EXETER, to the effect, that certain works had been used in an Irish school, as a copy for the chil dren, which were of a seditious character ; and that in the same school a prayer had been used for some Whiteboys, who had been executed at the preceding Assizes. The Noble Marquis said that he had in stituted the most rigid inquiries, and found that there was not so much as a single grain of truth, in either of these assertions. It would seem from this, and a hun dred similar instances which we need- not here specify, as they must be well known to the majority of our readers, that the Tories are unable to speak the truth, even by accident. Doctor Jots NSON used to say that " the Devil was the first Whig," but the circumstance of his being " the Father of Lics," convinces us that he must have been the first Tory. At the Croydon Conservative Association Dinner, which took place yesterday, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, who was present, made a furious speech against the Liberals, in the course of which, alluding to the House of Lords, he said, that should it by any chance be reformed, he would make a point of leaving the country. This is intelligence that will spread a panic from one end of the kingdom to the other. BROUGHAM we can spare—MELBOURNE we can spare—O'CoN NELL we can spare; but who or what is to compensate us for the loss of a SUGDEN? The very idea of such a man leaving us, is enough to make us despair of the Constitution. In mercy then to our sufferings, do not quit us, Sir EDWARD ! As you are a pa triot, stay and comfort us in our affliction. Think of your benighted country mourning in tears the set of so brilliant a sun I But we cannot believe that Sir EDWARD will have the heart to leave our shores. No, he will remain with us, faithful to the last, even though an ungrateful Whig Cabinet should never reward him with a Peerage for_ his patriotic devotion ! Should he, however, despite our delicate remonstrances, persist in his intention to " bolt," we trust Parliament will adopt some means for bringing him within the scope of that law which prevents the Heir Apparent from quitting the British soil. In desperate emergencies, desperate remedies must be had recourse to, and Sir EDWARD SUGDEN is a states man who must be kept among us at all hazards. He is—to quote a sentiment never before quoted—" like the air we breathe ; if we have him not, we die." The whole of the Paris Papers of Thusday have been received. The following is copied from the offi cial columns of the Moniteur After the affair on the 24th, the Carlists withdrew to Olaguc with 350 wounded. On the 25th they were reinforced with three battalions. The Christinos have remained at Larrasoana, and the en virons. The Viceroy, Baron de Meer, has been superseded by Ge neral Epeleta. On the 25th Cordova moved towards Logrono with two divisions. On the 27th the Carlists made a very feeble attack on the right of the Christino line at St. Sebastian. They were re pulsed with a loss of about thirty men. This includes the whole of the intelligence of any moment received from the North of Spain. The following extracts are from Thursday's jour nals : " Thanks to heaven 1 there is every reason to presume that Alibeaud has no accomplices, and that he will share with nobody the hideous celebrity which he has sought for. The most active and minute investigation has discovered no ves tige of a plot, and the arrests which have been effected, and the number of which has been much magnified, do not appear connected with the attempt. 'We doubt the possibility of com mencing the trial on Monday, as stated by some prints; but, on the other hand, its duration is likely to be a short one. The sacred rights of a prisoner's defence will be respected, but Fi eschi's rival will not have time to exhibit himself before his judges as a dramatic criminal, and to display at length, in pre- sence of the country, the stupid pride with which his crime in spired him. The laws will pronounce, and justice strike ; and the name of the murderer will, we trust, endure less than the disgust he excites."—lmpartial. M. de Talleyrand has written to Louis Philippe, and ad vised him to shut up Alibeaud at Charenton. Most of the persons arrested are not charged with having participated in the attempt of the 25th inst., but with having formed part of a society which for some time past the police had watched with particular care. A paper says that, among those persons twelve have been put into solitary confinement, and that they are implicated in a rather old plot, the seat of which was the Faubourg St. Marceau. It appears the affair will be prosecuted according to the ordinary course. The day before yesterday, the 27th, the forty-eight Po lice Commissioners of Paris assembled at the Prefecture, under the Presidency of M. Gisquet. The meeting lasted till midnight. To-day four new arrests have been effected. Among the persons captured are mentioned the ex-police agents, Gauchal and Chapuis. Yesterday twenty persons were released.— Charivari. PARIS, JUNE 30.—Accounts from Madrid, dated June 23d, have been received to-day. The kingdom of Valencia con tinues to suffer much from the excesses committed by the band of Cabrera, which, has become formidable. It even appears that it has entered Lower Arragon, where it must be hoped that the Queen's troops, which are pretty numerous, will be able to check it. It seems certain that M. Aguirre Solarte had definitively refused the office of Minister of Finance, and that no appoint ment will be made instead of him, before the approaching opening of the session of the Cortes. It may be remembered that part of the Grandees had of fered their property as a security for the public debt. The means of realising this prospect seems to have been the object of a late meeting of the Grandees of Spain, at Madrid, but the result is not known. Tl;eGovernment has given orders to pay to the holders oi the Passive Debt, the amount due for the month of Mara, they not having received any thing since last February. A letter - from Toulon, of the 25th ult., says, " The Sphynz• steamboat, which bas arrived from the Levant, and has brought news from This, has on board the aid-de-camp of Admiral Roussin, our Ambassador at Constantinople. This officer is the bearer of dispatches which seem to be very important. The Sphpnx sailed from Toulon without its being known what was the object of its mission to the Levant. It had orders to return immediately, and to touch at Tunis. It was sent to ascertain whether the squadron of Tahir Pacha bad sailed, what was its force, and how many troops it had on board." The following extract of a letter from Milan has been communicated to us ; it is dated June 21, and announces the appearance of the cholera in that city The cholera ap pears to have penetrated into Milan in the last three or four days. There have been five or six cases, the symptoms of which very closely resemble that dreadful disorder. The people are perfectly tranquil, and commerce is not at all affected."—Messager, June 30.

In the LORDS' last night, after further evidence bad been heard in support of the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill, a dis cussion of some interest arose on the presentation of petitions from a place in the county of Meath against the present sys tem of education in Ireland ; also from Bradford, and other places, praying their Lordships to pass a Bill p rov idi ng th at the hours of actual labour in factories for all persons under twenty-one years of age should not exceed ten hours a day for five days of the week, and eight hours on Saturday. Lord Lansdowne gave notice, that on Thu r sd a y h e w ill move t h e second reading of the Tithes' Commutation (England) Bill. The Petty Sessions (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, and the Report on the Prisoners' Counsel Bill was pcstponed until Friday. In the COMMONS' the Irish Church question was discussed. Mr. S. Crawford's Resolutions to abolish Tithes were negatived, the numbers being 51 to 18 against him. The House then went into Committee on the Ministerial Bill, and the several clauses up to the 49th were agreed to.

We have great pleasure in publishing the following letter from the Duke of Cleveland to Mr. Ferguson, of Raith, in which his Grace inclosed a bank note for fifty pounds, in aid of the O'Connell fund : " illy DEAR Sin,--From the decision last night of the House of Lords, which has for the second time rendered nugatory the objects of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, that was in tended to distribute equal justice to our Irish fellow-subjects, as had already been granted by Acts of, the Legislature to those of England and Scotland, I must consider it desirable for every well-wisher to the prosperity and tranquillity of that part of the United Empire to afford his support to those who possess the ability, the e nerg y, and th e p ower t o asser t th e rights and liberties of that unhappy country, which have been so ably advocated by Mr. O'Connell, as to entitle him to the humble aid that I now beg leave to enclose you, to wards defraying the expenses he has incurred in defending his seat for Dublin. " Your application to me on this subject you must allow me to plead as my apology for troubling you. " Believe me, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, • " CLEVELAND.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH PRESS.—The Surrey Standard, alluding to Mr. C. Buller's preference to the former, says, " Here the most abstruse subjects are treated with unsurpassed ability on the spur of the moment, and on the very instant that the public interest or Parliamentary dis cussion render them prominent. In Paris 24 or 28 hours are necessary to the most ready and accomplished writer, who then, nevertheless, fails to excel, if he even equal, his English contemporary. The feeling of the British public would grow torpid on such a delay." According to a letter of the 21st ult., from the Electorate of Hesse, the mystical sect of the Pietists has ap peared in the province of Hanau. The free town of Frank fort is said to be the centre of their meetings, where men and women meet indiscriminately. They call one another brother and sister, embrace with great familiarity, and give themselves up to practices that are any thing else than re ligious. WELCH TITHES.—The Tithes of, Melverley, Llandisilio, and other places wherein the Tithes are the pro perty of the Bishop of St. Asaph, were let by Auction, on Tuesday, at the Cross Keys Inn, Llanymynech ; the Rev. John Poole, of Llandrinio, in the chair. This practice, at which all the farmers are indignant, is annual. They are willing to take their tithe at a fair valuation, instead of having them put up in this Irish-like way, when some greedy bidder lays hold of them, and wrings the utmost farthing for the parish or township. In order to excite the bidders, they are stuffed with a good dinner and drink, previous to the sale.— Shrewsbury Chronicle. The Lord Bishop of Durham, on Thursday, took the oaths and his seat in the House of Lords. FATAL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION. — The neighbourhod of the Seven Dials was thrown into a state of great alarm at half -past ten o'clock this morning, in conse quence of a person named George, while under the influence of liquor, jumping from the third floor window of Mr. Birt, 39, Great St. Andrew -street, into the yard, from whence he was carried, in a hopeless state, to Charing-cross Hospital. The reason given for the rash act was a quarrel with his wife. We are happy to say that by the English Tithe Bill, in progress through the House of Commons, and which is now likely to pass into a law, certain difficulties which stood in the way of an adjustment of the long existing differences be tween the rector of Guiseley and his parishioners, are likely to be adjusted, and that the extensive litigation in that pa rish, arising out of from two to three hundred suits, will pro bably be brought to a speed , : termination. The parties inte rested are principally indebtCd to the judicious alterations in troduced into the Tithe Bill, in its progress through the House of Commons, on the suggestion of Mr. Shaw, of Leeds, for the restoration of harmony in the parish. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have this day received Montreal papers to the sth, and Quebec to the 3d June. The Montreal papers state that the approaching election in Upper Canada for the new Parlia ment, is ono upon which much will depend—that " Sir Francis Head is no ordinary man, and that he is pursuing no ordinary policy.". We have Jamaica papers to the 28th May, from which we extract the following : " HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, May 25. " Soon after 3 o'clock yesterday, the Speaker took the Chair, having acquainted the members that the House had met agreeably to the Governor'sproclamation. Mr. Panton and Mr. Bryden were appointed a Committee to wait upon his Excellency. A message from the Governor, by the Provost Marshal General, commanded the immediate attendance of the House in the Council Chamber, when his Excellency was pleased to open the Session with the following speech : " GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL—MR. SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OF TIIE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY:— " In obedience to the commands I have received, I have called the Legislative Body together, in order to submit to its consideration certain measures of importance, which the wel fare of the colony will not allow to be postponed until the ordinary time of its meeting. " ' I would recommend to your earliest notice the renewal of the Act in Aid, which expired on the 3lst of last December. The great inconvenience which has resulted from its not hav ing been in force during the last four months, will, I am.con fident, induce you to lose no time in turning your attention to the subject. " The serious injury and waste of property which has arisen from the defects in the law for regulating the Court of Ordinary, and the imp era ti ve necessity for some alteration in it, so often represented to me by almost every one of the Learned Counsel who practise in that Court, leads me to re commend it to your notice, although the period of your as sembling renders a long Session undesirable. One of th e most sacred duties of the Ordinary is the care of the property of minors, and others not in a position to act for themselves ; it is one of the protections to which all those who contribute to the exigencies of the State are entitled ; and such protection cannot be afforded under the existing law. " ' MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY, " ' Having been informed by authority, of more experience than my own, and to which it is my duty to submit, that the delivery of my Message relative to the Act in Aid, involved a breach not contemplated, as I before assured you, of the pri vileges of the Assembly, I have only to express my regret of its having taken place. " So much of the fiscal business of the year has already been gone through, that I am not aware that I have any ob servations to make to you on that branch. " GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL, " Havi►,g called your attention to the several matters to which I have already particularly adverted, I would merely ex press a hope that you will, in the exercise of your wisdom and zeal, in the discharge of your public duties, dispose of as many of the other measures which it will be the interest of the colony to have discussed as you conveniently can. " The all important subject of education, among the rest, will not I trust escape your consideration. " I have been directed to make to you certain communica tions from his Majesty's Government, and I will take the earliest opportunity of doing so, in the usual manner. " In conclusion, I would wish you to understand dis tinctly that, in agreeing to the Committee, on the working of the apprenticeship system, his Majesty's Ministers had not the slightest idea of consenting to any breach of the honourable compact which has been made between the mother country and her colonies ; and which it is much the interest of both parties to maintain inviolate.'" HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, MAY 26. Address to his Excellency the GOVERNOR—read the third time, and passed : " May it please your Excellency—We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Assembly of Jamaica, beg leave to offer to your Excellency our thanks for your speech at the opening of the Session, and in having taken the first opportu nity in your power, after having received the King's command, to re-assemble the Legislative Body of this Island. " The Act in Aid of the AbolitiOn Law shall have our imme diate attention ; and all other measures which it it the in terest of the colony to have discussed, shall receive our seri ous consideration. " We arc perfectly satisfied with the reparation which your Excellency has offered for the breach of our privileges, which led to the prorogation of the Assembly. " We shall most respectfully receive any communication which your Excellency may have occasion to make, whether from h s Majesty's Government, or from your Excellency; and we shall bestow them our best consideration. " We thank your Excellency for the assurance, that agree ing to the Committee in the working of the apprenticeship system, his Majesty's Ministers .had not the slightest idea of consenting to any broach of the honourable compact which has been made between the mother country and her colonies ; and at the same time we do assure your Excellency that it has always been the wish, as well as the interest of this House, to preserve that compact inviolably on the part of the House." His Excellency's Answer to the Address of the House of Assembly of Jamaica:— " MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF TIIE ASSEMBLY, " I receive with much pleasure the assurance of your inten tion to take into consideration the various important matters which it is for the interest of the colony to have disposed of, even at your own personal inconvenience, at this unusual pe riod of the year.' " I am confident that the benefit which will thereby accrue to the Island, will amply repay you for that inconvenience. " I am gratified also by the expression of your feeling, that it is as well your wish, as your interest, to maintain inviolate these engagements which have been entered into with the mo ther country. Such sentiments existing on both sides afford the best guarantee for a happy result, and induces me to augur most favourably for the future progress of this great measure. " I cannot conclude without assuring you, with the most perfect sincerity, that nothing could be further from my mind than any invasion of your privileges. I have before declared to you my high respect for those ordinances—l again repeat to you the same feeling." The business of the House of Assembly is progressing amicably, and we shal soon see to whom the blame of any future rupture will be attributed.—Jamaica Paper of 27th May. THE FUNDS.

THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account, 921 The CROPS.—The favourable change in the weather, from wintry winds to soft genial sunshine and re freshing showers, has produced a delightful improvement in the grass and corn crops. At present the whole of the vege table creation seems rejoicing under , the influence of the power: ful rays of the sun. The fields present 4 luxuriant ap pearance. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen have, with the approbation of the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, just promulgated a code of "additional rules and by-laws for the regulation of the waterrnen and lightermen of the river Thames." These new rules relate principally to the size of boats to be hereafter used upon the river, and appear calcu lated to remove part of the danger arising from the swell.. pro duced by steam-boats. If anything were wanting to contradict the timidity attributed to cockneyism it would be the boldness with which Londoners are seen to embark in the present slight and insecure wherries which ply between Putney and Blackwall. LEEDS.—On Saturday last, we had a specimen of the giant rhubarb exhibited to us, grown by Mr. Joseph Mar shall, of Rothwell Haigh, and supposed to be the largest ever seen in the Leeds market, and proved, when used, as tender as the ordinary sized rhubarb. The owner realized from twenty-seven roots no less than " thirty stones and a half," some of the leaves of which, with the stem, measure about " eighteen feet." Within the few last days prodigious quantities of hay have been got together in fine order, having been little, if at all, injured by the late rains. The Austrian Government, on receiving intelli gence of a toll having been levied by the Russian authorities at the mouth of the Danube, on the Ferdinand steam-packet, plying between this port and Galacz, has sent orders to the Captain of this vessel in future to refuse any port dues to the Russians, unless obliged to comply with their demands through the employment of coercive measures. The late Lord Bath's parsimony, in trifling mat ters, was sometimes laughable. Colman the elder used to tell the following anecdote :—" In a rural lane, through which the Noble Earl often passed in his carriage, a gate was placed across the road, which was opened for travellers by an ancient female. His Lordship one day, touched by the ap pearance of the old woman, gave the word to halt; the out riders echoed the order—the coachman pulled up—the caval cade stood still—and William Pulteney, Earl of Bath, stretch ing forth his hand from his coach-and-four, bedecked with coronets, threw to the venerable object of his bounty —a half penny." We have heard a similar anecdote relating to a Noble Duke now living, who resides at his baronial place in the north of England. A " fairy doctor," named Dwyer, died suddenly a few days since, in a public-house in the village of Carriga bolt. He had been drinking with two men, who were bar gaining for a cast of his office, and about five half-pints of spi rits were consumed by the parties. The " wise man " was then left to his meditations, but occupying a longer time than usual, the people of the house repaired to the room, and found him sitting with his head on his hand at the table, but quite dead. An inquest was held on the body by James Lucas, Esq., and a verdict nturned accordingly.--Limerick Star. MARRIED. On the 30th ult., at Bolton-by-Bolland, Craven, Yorkshire, by the Rev.

The Earl of Errol has commenced the reformation of these races with a determination which cannot fail to be productive of the best results. Every individual formerly in office has been dismissed, and an active and efficient Clerk of the Course appointed in the person of Mr. Hibbird, of Egham. A num ber of workmen arc already employed in making the necessary improvements to the Course; a new set of rails and posts will be put up, and the second line (commencing from the dis tance to beyond the winning post) for carriages. The money given away will be more than treble the amount of the last meeting, and will include a 1001. Plate, from the town of Windsor (its subscription this year was about as many shil lings), a similar one from the ground landlord of the betting stand, Plates from the county and borough Members, and other contributions sufficient to insure five or six races per day. There are already 32 subscribers to the Cup, and 45 to the Wokingham, for next year ; several Produce Stakes, &c. ; and we have no doubt that the sporting world will show their sense of Lord Erroll's exertions by sending their horses, and in other respects doing ail in their power to secure the prosperity of the races. We have obtained the following particulars as to the attempt made by Alibcau to destroy himself, which we mentioned yesterday :—One of his keepers, having gone out for a moment to get him some tobacco to chew, he requested the other who was with him to go and hasten his return. The latter had scarcely turned his back, when the prisoner endea voured twice to dash his brains out against the wall ; but the keeper was two quick for him, and seized him by the clothes, saying, " Ah ! my fine fellow ! you wished to have played me a trick which would - have been the ruin of me I" Alibeau at first endeavoured to turn it off as a joke, but afterwards ac knowledged his real intention, asserting that it was not for want of courage that he attempted his life, but that .he had become disgusted with his present state of existence', and wished to save himself from eight more wearisome days. He is at times prodigal in his expressions. One of them is—" My name begins with the first letter of the alphabet, and the King has yet to fear all the rest of the letters." Another is-- " Whatever may be my fate, my name will be known through all Europe, and my devotion of myself honoured by all true patriots."—Galignani. - (ADVERTISEMENT.) —EIGHT-DAY CLOCKS, to strike the Hours and Half-hours, Five Guineas each.
